The Team Fortress Blog announces today is the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the release of the original Team Fortress modification for QUAKE. Here's word on what anyone who plays Team Fortress 2 during the next 24 hours will receive:

A free party hat!

A free noisemaker that will have unlimited uses on Team Fortress's birthday and can only be used each year on that day!

Free cake and gifts (in the form of remodeled health kits and ammo packs)!

You'll also see the return of the best stuff from previous TF birthday celebrations, including:

The Team Fortress Birthday Beach Ball!

The Celebration Gib, which causes gibbed players to explode in a shower of balloons and confetti!
